YEREVAN. – Closure of the OSCE office in Baku is another manifestation of authoritarian leadership of Azerbaijan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

Shavarsh Kocharyan believes that the situation should be considered in a wider context. Freedom House already considers Azerbaijan a country with authoritarian regime.

“Azerbaijan's ruling elite finds no other bar to their people, but hatred towards Armenians. This Is the reason for criticism addressed to the international organizations that are suspected of being sympathetic to the Armenians. It is necessary to create an image of an external enemy to shift the blame for their own problems in the country,” Kocharyan said.

The OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Baku’s operations in Azerbaijan were discontinued on June 22.
